A compact mechanical keyboard should save space on a German desk, respond precisely while typing and still provide enough function keys for gaming. The AJAZZ AK820 mechanical keyboard combines a German QWERTZ layout with 82 keys, RGB lighting, hot-swap sockets, a gasket-mount design, USB-C connectivity and a volume control knob.
However, it is worth taking a close look at the specific variant before buying. Keyboards with similar model names may differ in layout, lighting, switches and connectivity.
A 75% gaming keyboard typically includes a function row, arrow keys and several navigation keys. Even so, it may be offered with either a US QWERTY or German QWERTZ layout. For users in Germany, the positions of Y and Z as well as special characters are particularly important.
Before buying, check the following:
The AJAZZ AK820 variant described here is offered with a German QWERTZ layout and 82 keys. Another AK820 version in the range, however, features a US QWERTY layout. The model name alone is therefore not enough to identify the correct version.
“RGB” may refer to individually configurable per-key lighting, zone-based illumination or several preset effects. The claim of “1.6 million colours” should also be considered in conjunction with the available controls. Anyone wanting to customise the lighting via software should check whether compatible software is specified.
The AJAZZ AK820 is listed with several lighting effects, brightness levels and adjustable effect speed. However, individual product variants may differ between RGB and white backlighting. The specific product page should therefore be treated as the decisive source before placing an order.
A hot-swappable keyboard allows mechanical switches to be replaced without soldering. What matters, however, is which sockets are supported. The QWERTZ AK820 is listed as compatible with 3-pin switches, while other AK820 variants specify compatibility with both 3-pin and 5-pin switches.
When replacing switches, users should:
Hot-swap functionality makes maintenance and customisation easier, but it does not eliminate the need to check pin compatibility.
A compact 75% mechanical keyboard is smaller than a full-size model while retaining important keys for office work and gaming. According to the product specifications, the AJAZZ AK820 measures approximately 327 × 136 × 40 millimetres and weighs around 0.8 kilograms.
This leaves more room for a mouse but does not provide a dedicated number pad. Anyone who regularly works with spreadsheets, long columns of figures or accounting software may find a 96% or 100% keyboard more practical.
The AK820 is described as featuring linear Sea-Salt switches. Linear switches have no tactile bump and are often preferred for fast input. Whether the sound is pleasing also depends on the keycaps, case, mounting system and acoustic dampening.
The integrated gasket-mount keyboard uses an elastic mounting system. Combined with multi-layer sound and vibration dampening, this can create a softer typing feel. A gasket-mount construction, however, is not an objective guarantee of a specific volume level or sound profile.
The AJAZZ AK820 is a USB-C keyboard with a detachable cable and wired connectivity. This means:
According to the description, the metal knob adjusts the volume and can mute the keyboard when pressed. For users who switch between workspaces or use tablets, a tri-mode keyboard with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity offers greater flexibility. For a fixed PC workstation, USB-C is the more straightforward option.
Why this keyboard is a good fit: It offers an accessible introduction to compact mechanical keyboards, combining a German layout, a complete function row and a volume knob without taking up space for a number pad.
The reviewed product variant explicitly lists QWERTZ, 82 keys, USB-C and hot-swap functionality. The specific version should still be checked before purchase.
82-key layout, linear Sea-Salt switches, gasket-mount construction, rotary knob and detachable USB-C cable.
Why this keyboard is a good fit: Anyone who works with numbers frequently and has sufficient desk space gets a full-size model with a German QWERTZ layout and 110 keys.
The number pad is fully integrated, eliminating the limitations of compact layouts for spreadsheet work and numerical input.
CHERRY MX2A Red switches, full N-key rollover, anti-ghosting and RGB lighting with CHERRY UTILITY support.
Why this keyboard is a good fit: For laptop, PC and tablet users, the combination of a 65% layout, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless and USB-C is designed for flexible use across different workspaces.
All three connection methods are clearly specified. Users should nevertheless take the reduced key count and the relevant layout into account.
65% format, low-profile MX Speed switches, per-key RGB and connectivity via Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz or USB-C.

The variant described here is offered as a German QWERTZ keyboard with 82 keys. Since AK820 versions with a US QWERTY layout are also available, buyers should check the product name, images and technical specifications together before ordering.
Yes. The QWERTZ variant is described as a hot-swappable keyboard compatible with 3-pin switches. Switches can be replaced without soldering. The keyboard must be disconnected from power during the process. Other variants may list different compatibility requirements for 3-pin and 5-pin switches.
The 75% layout retains the function row, arrow keys and navigation keys. This makes the keyboard generally suitable for office work, typing and gaming, provided that a number pad is not required. The wired USB-C connection is designed for a fixed PC workstation; users who switch between multiple devices should choose a wireless tri-mode keyboard.
